Great Package and Art from Neil Gordon

[Thom Courcelle]

Neil sent an exciting package to me recently. (When ISN'T it exciting to get a big package??!!  WHHHOoooOOHHooo!!) 

Upon opening it I found two nice balls of yarn--just PERFECT for creating some DK Oracle™ bags for the Trashpo folks!! AND... some original art boekies that Neil created that incorporate doodles, character sketches, rubber stamps, and scratch notes.  Several pages are like a bestiary of wormish-dragons.  They're GREAT!!

The caché:

Boekie 1 (page-by-page):

Turkey stamps!!!! And another stamp of a tiny little girl holding... YES!! CORNCOBS!!!!  That's what I call COBTASTIC!!!!

Boekie 2:

What do you get when you cross a turkey and a worm??...

...a turkey-headed worm-monster!!!

These were all just fantastic, Neil, and I had a blast oggling everything you included.  THANK YOU for making my mail day!

It's always a treat when you're able to stop by, Thom. ("Weekend shore leave, sailor?)

I'm really looking forward to the DK Oracle Bags (D-KOBs).

Neil Gordon's sketch, collage, asemic pages are a wonder, received some myself not long ago. These are gold star.

Very interesting glimpse into the mind of Neil Gordon. I'm particularly drawn to the 'happy birthday to me' note and all that doodling!! I wonder when Neil created all this doodling-was he waiting for something? great stuff Thom!
